It’s a helmet with built-in turning signals and brake lights – and Ottawa is the first city to be testing it out on its staff.

“We’re always looking at different kind of technology that can apply to a road safety perspective,” said Rob Wilkinson, coordinator of Safer Roads Ottawa, a joint initiative between the city and Ottawa Police.

Earlier this year the force began using a new tool that could measure the distance between cyclists and passing cars, which was later loaned out to Montreal and Gatineau to try.
